What did you do right after high school?

Military - Navy, then Army, thought about making a career of it but saw too many of my friends having a hard time with marriage so I got out. Then running a business, then getting married, having my girls, going to GSU and starting my IT career at Oracle. Moved to Las Vegas for 5 years which was actually great. I was an IT Manager at a Gaming Manufacturing company there, so I saw 1st hand, every day, the many, many reasons not to gamble. We moved back in 2002 and I have been working various DBA Consulting contracts since.
